We’re massive fans of gin here at Creative Tourist and we’ll definitely be joining the celebrations at this year’s Gin Society Festival at Manchester Cathedral. There are 120 listed gins including a selection of new and local varieties for you to try out on one of the two sessions (the first starts at noon, the second at 6.30pm)

Still not sure? Well, Saturday the 8th of June is World Gin Day and entry to the festival includes a free G+T on arrival.

Sounds good to us. Cheers!
